First off, I was always taught 'never to hit a lady', which is a little bit different than just women in general. I've only open hand slapped a girl once, she had it coming though. Only on one occasion have I threatend a girlfriend, an ex who was a trained boxer. She was known to get out of control, so I told her if she ever tried to kick my ass that I would hit her. And for all intents and purposes, I probably would have to protect myself. Thankfuly it never came to that.
As far as a man hitting a women goes, it's wrong and we men know better. Pushing or anything less than a direct punch or kick(no knees or elbows either) when we need to protect ourselves should be enough.
